Amethyst (The Smoky Blues Book 9) Kindle Edition
Deke Gregory has a type – petite, feminine, pliable. His ex-wife was his ideal, but she wasn’t his, obviously. Faced with the realities of joint custody and a family “village” raising his son, Deke sets out to find a woman who ticks all his boxes and thinks he walks on water. Enter Doctor Taylor De Witt: tall, strong, willful, opinionated, and too busy to be bothered with soothing his rough edges. Imagine his surprise when he falls for her – hard.
OUT OF HIS HEART
Taylor De Witt knew she would be a heart surgeon since college. Now a single mother with a schedule that requires roller blades, she has little time for her family, never mind a social life. When she meets Deke Gregory she thinks he’s a Neanderthal – yummy, but from a different era. Little does she know what their mutual attraction will bring, including examining her life to include an everlasting love.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018I have enjoyed Ms. Mims' unconventional romances, and Amethyst did not disappoint. The book is well written with believable characters and a nicely building love story. Enemies to friends and mismatched pairs are a couple of my favorite tropes, and they work well in this novel. I hope you enjoy Amethyst as much as I did.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020Deke had a certain type of woman he goes for and Taylor wasn't it. She even called him on his parenting skills with her take no mess attitude rolling off her. They both are single parents who thanks to a school fight find themselves thrown together so that their kids can get to know each other. What happens over the course of it all is a bond between Deke and Taylor that turns into so much more but her job is her life's work. Can Deke agree to become a part of all tings Taylor to grab a second chance for happiness?

- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018Can two different people with different goals and different needs find, and keep, love? Absolutely! Emily Mims in Amethyst, book nine of her The Smoky Blues series, tackles that question. Not everything goes together as smoothly as peanut butter and jelly. Opposites like the positive and negative on a magnet, or fire and ice, or a hunky macho ex-military guy and tall talented assertive woman surgeon, can and do repel each other. At first.
I’m not telling spoilers when I say that super sexy Deke Gregory is the one swept off his feet by the confident Dr. Taylor DeWitt. That’s Dr. DeWitt as she tells Deke during their first emotional run-in. And I’m not telling who gets them get together, but I will tell you that when these two opposites connect, their clothes come off faster than sparks fly. They are hot!
Into this intense mix add two careers, an ex-wife with a new family, two fist-fighting pre-teen boys, a wedding, and a passion to save lives. Wow!
But, it might be passion that breaks them apart. Is love more important than saving lives? How long will Deke stay in second place to Taylor’s patients? Or can Taylor and Deke keep their love, their careers, their families?
Emily Mims writes a hot, page-turning, story about two committed people. This is the first book I read in Emily’s Smoky Blue series that’s set in the Smoky Mountain, but this won’t be the last.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020Some say opposite attract or say it will never work. Taylor and Deke story don't realize that what makes them opposite is what makes them perfect for each other.
This delightful tale will have you laughing and crying.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020A fight between the kids draw these two together. They are both single parents and when they come together sparks fly, since opposites are explosive. She is a dedicated heart surgeon who focus is to save lives who sweeps him off his feet. This will have you laughing and crying. Such a delightful read

- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018The 'opposites attract' factor is going strong in this wonderful novel by Emily Mims. Her heroine, Dr. Taylor DeWitt, is a tall powerhouse, driven to achieve in her career. Definitely not Deke Gregory's type. But the way these two come together to provide a sanctuary for their warring teen-age sons, and discover they each have a second chance at enduring love. Very well written. It engaged me from the first page. I received a paper ARC in return for an honest review. JF
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced and flowed nicely. The turn of events were done beautifully and the ending was terrific!
